Using the aural style of learning, you like to work with sound and music. You have a good sense of pitch and rhythm. You typically can sing, play a musical instrument, or identify the sounds of different instruments. Certain music invokes strong emotions. You notice the music playing in the background of movies, TV shows and other media. You often find yourself humming or tapping a song or jingle, or a theme or jingle pops into your head without prompting.

An aural learner:

* Uses sound, rhyme, and music in your learning. Focus on using aural content in your association and visualization.
* Uses sound recordings to provide a background and help you get into visualizations. (For example, use a recording of an aircraft engine running normally, playing loudly via a headset, to practice flight procedures. Use a recording of the sound of wind and water when visualizing sailing maneuvers. If you don't have these recordings, consider creating them while next out training.)
* When creating mnemonics or acrostics, makes the most of rhythm and rhyme, or sets them to a jingle or part of a song.
* Uses the anchoring technique to recall various states that music invokes in you. (If you have some particular music or song that makes you want to 'take on the world,' play it back and anchor your emotions and state. When you need the boost, you can easily recall the state without needing the music.)

Hi, I'm on session 3 of the course and wanted to see if anyone wants to discuss any of the topics so far. Being that I'm working on the course over the summer and on my own, I'm not able to do some of the group activities or the "in class room" activities with students. I've been working on the rest though and am really liking everything so far. The videos are really good and interesting. A question that came up for me in session 3: what is aural learning? Any ideas or answers out there?
